Saw these at Walmart this morning. http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Rebelle Besides the fact that I think it is AWESOME that one of these is a Huntress-esque pistol crossbow, and another is a Katniss-esque bow... does this mean Nerf ignored TRU's thing about not marketing by gender, or is this Nerf giving TRU something to sell to girls? I can see both sides of the coin on this one. Thoughts?
